On the YouTube channel WargamingForFun we have recently started covering Warmachine Battle Reports. I am a noob when it comes to Warmachine but with the help of Andy and Chris from the Wargaming Club I am starting to get to grips with the gaming system.

After posting a two part battle report, using the starter force for the Protectorate of Menoth, some viewers commented that a Choir would be a good way to expand my small force. An order was promptly placed and received. Today I painted one of the models as a test piece for the rest of the unit.

I pictures on the box use a more 'reddish' colouring for the garments than the purple that I have used but I wanted the unit to blend in to my other Menoth figures. For the purple garments I started with a Hexed Lichen base coat followed with a layer of Warlord Purple, both of these from the Game Colour range from Vallejo.

The white areas I completed using a base coat from P3 of Menoth White Base (Basically a bone colour compatible with the new ushabti bone.) followed by a layer of 'White Scar'

Gold was straight forward with Balthasar Gold base followed with an Auric Armour Gold highlight, focusing mainly on the upper surfaces to indicate a light source.

The text on the banner was drawn using a 0.1mm technical drawing pen.

The model isn't based yet but overall I'm pleased with the test piece.

About Me

After a brief stint of playing Epic Space Marine back in the late 90's I returned to wargaming in 2009.
I enjoy all aspects of the hobby including the modelling and the playing.
I tend to focus on Warhammer Fantasy but will in time get into other gaming systems.
Having trouble at the moment keeping up with the model making activities.
I also run a channel on youtube called 'wargamingforfun' if you have time - take a look.
